ROSLYN HIGH SCHOOL
From the Principal
October 30, 2009
Dear Parents and Guardians, We have had a wonderful start to the 2009-10 school year. There is a sense of enthusiasm and pride that permeates our building. I want to take this time to share with you some exciting new initiatives that I believe continue to make Roslyn High School the standard bearer for our region. Beginning on November 9 we will be moving toward a college-like environment regarding secure access to our building, purchasing in our cafeteria, obtaining late passes issued by our attendance office, and the process of checking out books from our library. Specifically, the ID cards that were distributed to all of our students will be the focal point for this change. On November 9th students will be required to scan their ID card in order to access the building from outside. Students will have access to the building through three entrances strategically located. They will be informed about the specific entranceway locations prior to November 9th. All other doors will be secured during school hours. The purpose for this change is to ensure the safety of our children while creating an environment that prohibits non-students from entering our buildings. Students who do not have an ID card must go to the Adult Education office (located next to the Yearbook office in the lower level of the music wing) between November 2 and November 9 to be issued a new ID. Our cafeteria is now equipped with the latest technology that allows parents to load funds into our system that recognizes the student’s ID card as if it were a debit card. You may now go on line and deposit funds into an account. (Click here for information and instructions.) This will enable your child to present his/her ID card to the cashier who will use it to debit the money from the account. In addition to the convenience this provides both our parents and students, the process also allows the school district to monitor our inventory in a way that will maximize our purchasing power. Finally, the same ID card will now be utilized as a library card. This makes great sense again from a monitoring perspective for the school district. It is our hope that you embrace these changes as positive and work with us to help make the transition to this new model a success. We continue to look for ways to keep us on the cutting edge and welcome your input as we move ahead.
Sincerely,
Kevin Scanlon Bell Schedule
